I’m really busy most days. Are you? If so you know that making some of the more decadent dessert shakes can be a hassle. Take pumpkin shakes for example. You have to crack open a can of pumpkin, dole out what you need for your shake, find something to store the rest of the pumpkin. All this makes those types …

(Insert snicker…go ahead…your inner 12 year-old is DYING to do it!) Yes, yes, on with it then… The name is good for SEO the best name I could come up with to describe these things. As always, there’s a story behind them. So…I wanted to make peanut butter balls. Because I’ve seen them a few times. Paula Deen and whatnot. …

All the pretty colors… (Before we get to this recipe…have you taken a look at the finalist recipes for the Fit Frappe recipe contest? Yes, ok. Well…have you voted yet so that YOU have a chance to win some Fit Frappe? Ah…you didn’t, did you? Go do it now! We’ll wait.)  Alrighty then! So anyone that knows me knows that …

Hey Foodies!  This month instead of doing the Foodie Fitness Corner, I’m handling the recipe of the month.  Long story short: I recently had surgery on my leg and I’m limited in activity. So rather than bore you all with my attempts at exercising within my doctor’s limits, I thought I’d put on my chef hat and bad Julia Child’s …

NOT to be confused with Fit Frappe Vanilla, which your Foodies so kindly reviewed for you yesterday.  But first…the third finalist …Alyson W.!!! She took the one ingredient challenge here on the blog and suggested one of my favorite flavors of all time. Orange Sherbert!  She recommends adding a half a stick of sugar-free orange drink mix to Fit Frappe Vanilla, …

You all might remember my first, more traditional, WLS-friendly Lunchable. I’ve been having lots of fun creating different iterations of this idea. Today’s offering: tuna salad with halved cherry tomatoes, onions, TONS of garlic salt, salt, pepper and a little canola mayo. Alongside it are my “cuke-ers” (cucumber crackers) and I have a nectarine for a sweet finish! What would …

So, you all may not know it, but I am stalking…paying attention to you. When folks post something yummy they are making, I ain’t too proud to reach out and see if I can get the recipe for the Foodie Nation. Because we all deserve a little yumminess in our lives, right? Today’s dessert recipe is courtesy of Melissa. When …

But first a bit of business. Thanks to everyone who entered the BF Scavenger Hunt! Yes, I know  it was a pain for me to make you all look up stuff (altho most of it was Google-able) but I HOPE you found some good resources in your search. Anyhoo…the winners are: Heather H. Samantha M. Gwen K. Congrats, girls! They’ve …

Just a quick one today for you, Foodies! I used to love me a Lunchable. But as I always say, I’m living better these days! So I started putting these together instead. Isn’t it cute? Best thing about it is you can make it up the way YOU want it. All you need is: A few thick-cut slices of your …

This started out with me trying to dispel a myth. You see, someone at work told me they’d eaten a zucchini fritter that tasted just like a crab cake.
